A possible solution I am thinking of now is to run the other application's installer in the background - using an ampersand (&) as a final program argument and then somehow waiting for the other application to start, so that to close it. Thanks to and31415 and DanielB for their comments and info. You can check running vms by doing: C:OracleVirtualBox>vboxmanage list runningvms.
#Installbuilder locate vboxmanage iso#
Let's consider that the other application's installer cannot be fixed and this should be handled in the installer of the current application. Anyway, an ISO CD/DVD image file can always be inserted on runtime in any empty medium. One is set to VBOXINSTALLPATH and the other to VBOXMSIINSTALLPATH, so they are out of synch. Java is a fine choice for multiple scenarios and indeed over half of your users use InstallBuilder to package Java-based applications. These were built using the Java programming language. The UX of the other installer is even worse, since if it is ran in a normal mode with user interaction enabled there is no option - a checkbox, to allow/disallow the automatic run of the installed other application. The core issue appears to be a difference that has emerged in the PATH environmental variable used between Virtualbox and Vagrant to locate VBOXMANAGE. To fully understand the architecture and capabilities of InstallBuilder, it is useful to consider the previous generation of cross-platform installers. The best solution for sure is to fix the other application's installer, so that not to start the other application automatically. Closing the started other application manually makes the installer of the target application to continue the installation progress.

Tried dumping the $ but it was surprisingly empty - it should contain some number. WAIT other-app-installer.exe -mode unattended -unattendedmodeui minimalWithDialogsīut this time the installer of the target application throws an unspecified error. Installing another BitRock InstallBuilder made installer . Runs the application provided as an argument in blocked mode and one can proceed working with the console as soon as the other application's installer exits/finishes. Explanation: This changes the size of the virtual hard drive to 40000 MB. Example: VBoxManage modifyhd 'C:UsersMartinVirtualBox VMswindows 7windows 7.vdi' resize 40000. With it, you can completely control Oracle VM VirtualBox from the command line of your host operating system.
